Great Han Arrow God

Chapter 649
Liang Xiao persuaded Azhena and others to attack Lie Jiaomi first, but he didn't make a simple start.

Fighting the big with the small, and the disparity in the number of troops, if you don't make careful planning to ensure that everyone understands their tasks and implements them in place, there is a [-]% chance of losing this battle.

Liang Xiao took the map and explained his tactical arrangement in detail.

"At present, Liejiaomi is about three hundred miles away from us. If we take the initiative to rush over, we will become exhausted soldiers. Liejiaomi is waiting for work, and we will definitely lose. If we want to defeat the strong with the weak, we must mobilize Liejiaomi to come to us. And let him run to exhaustion, so we have a chance to hit one shot."

Liang Xiao looked at Doros. "Can you take this opportunity?"

Doros tugged at his beard and rolled his eyes. "If given the chance, I can do it."

"Then you should be ready. I will find a way to lure Lie Jiaomi to you. You have only one task." Liang Xiao raised his palm and chopped it off fiercely. "In one charge, Lie Jiaomi was chopped off by the horse."

"Okay!" Doros rubbed his hands excitedly.

Liang Xiao turned his gaze to Azhena, and said with a smile: "Dalu, you have to be mentally prepared, we are going to lose for a while, and we will be a deserter."

Ashina smiled. "Tell me, how to escape, we Yuezhi people have escaped. As long as we can win, it doesn't matter what a deserter."

"Da Lu can think so, that's great. Jian Mi, you guard the canyon, all the wounded soldiers and luggage are here, you must guard it well, and you must not make any mistakes."

"What? Let me guard the canyon?" Jian Mi was stunned. He waited for a long time, and was preparing to fight with Liang Xiao, but Liang Xiao wanted him to stay in the canyon.He suddenly became anxious. "General, I'm not good at defending the city, so let's find someone else."

"Who should I replace?" Liang Xiao smiled. "Besides me, who else here is better at staying behind than you? And the princess will stay in the canyon and hand it over to others. I don't feel at ease."

Jian Mi smacked his lips and didn't argue any more.Although he felt a little regretful, he could tell that this was Liang Xiao's trust in him.Apart from him, Liang Xiao was worried that the canyon would be handed over to anyone.As General Dawan, protecting the princess' safety is his honor, and it is also his unshirkable responsibility.

"Okay." Jian Mi nodded.

Liang Xiao immediately called the Cypriots and told them to go back immediately, summoned all the tribes, and spread a message: Liang Xiao and the Cypriots will attack Lie Jiaomi and avenge the Cypriots. Go out and work together to break the hunting arrogance.

After hearing this, the Sai people were overjoyed and left.

After the Cypriots left, Liang Xiao dispatched a large number of elite cavalry to wipe out the Wusun and Huns within [-] miles from east to west of the canyon, making a big attack.

-

Lie Jiaomi waved, signaling to take down the Serbian captive he had just captured.

He didn't really believe what the Cypriots said.He felt that these Cypriots had been fooled by Liang Xiao.Liang Xiao only had 6000 to [-] people, how could he rush to help the Cypriots.Even if they are all cavalry, they don't have the ability to run three hundred miles to fight. By the time they get here, they are exhausted and can't fight anymore. It's as if they are dying.

Liang Xiao is proficient in cavalry combat, it is impossible for him not to know this common sense, so this must be a fake.

Then why did Liang Xiao say that, was it just to fool the Sai people?

Lie Jiaomi was worried, and while gathering troops to prepare for the battle, he sent a large number of scouts to the valley to inquire about news and see what Liang Xiao was up to.

Two days later, a scout came back.They didn't see Liang Xiao's shadow, and couldn't even accept the canyon.The area within [-] miles from the canyon became a restricted area, and scouts composed of Han and Yuezhi hunted and killed the Wusun people everywhere, causing heavy casualties to them.These scouts rode Dawan horses, which were fast and durable, and equipped with sniper crossbows with a long range. Wusun people were often shot and killed by cold arrows before they even saw the enemy.

Lie Jiaomi was very nervous.Hunting and killing scouts is often the prelude to action.Is Liang Xiao planning to attack?Just don't know if he's heading east or west.Lie Jiaomi repeated deduction, but he still felt that it was unlikely that Liang Xiao would go west. No matter from the comparison of troops or the distance, Liang Xiao's most reasonable choice was to attack the Huns westward.

When Lie Jiaomi could not make up his mind, more and more Cypriots appeared around the camp. Although they did not dare to attack the Wusun people, their frequent reconnaissance also made the Wusun people nervous.Lie Jiaomi stepped up his guard, but his attention was never attracted by these Cypriots.On the contrary, he became more and more convinced that he was right. These Cypriots were just Liang Xiao's suspects, and his real target was probably the Huns.

Lie Jiaomi left [-] cavalry to guard against the Cypriots, and led the main force to move westward.He ordered everyone to be vigilant, to prepare for battle immediately without disarming the armor or unfastening the saddle.

One morning, two scouts brought the long-awaited news to Lie Jiaomi.Last night, they were lucky enough to dive near the gorge and saw Liang Xiao quietly leaving the gorge and heading west.

Hearing this news, Lie Jiaomi's heart that had been hanging for a long time finally let go, but he couldn't relax for a long time, and raised it again.He was relieved because Liang Xiao's tactical arrangement was exactly as he expected, heading west to attack the Huns.So is the tension.Liang Xiao went out of the valley in the evening, according to the time, he should have arrived at the Huns' camp at midnight, had a short rest, and just in time to launch an attack.

This is the sneak attack tactic that Liang Xiao is best at. It was how he defeated King Youxian back then.

Lie Jiaomi was very disturbed.He didn't know if King Youxian would take into account Liang Xiao's plan.If it was not counted, Liang Xiao might succeed in a sneak attack, and the Huns would suffer heavy losses.If King Youxian counts, he will also face a fierce battle.Although Liang Xiao's troops were limited, they were very effective in combat. Coupled with the cooperation of infantry, he might even defeat King Youxian and win the final victory.

Back then, he used the tactics of infantry and cavalry to defeat the Huns in Hexi.

The more Lie Jiaomi thought about it, the more disturbed he became. He sent scouts to inform Youxian King to be careful, and at the same time led [-] troops to set off to support Youxian King, seize the mouth of the gorge, and cut off Liang Xiao's retreat, lest he retreat into the gorge again and stick to it.

Although it was decided that Liang Xiao was more likely to attack the Huns, Lie Jiaomi was very cautious.He informed the entire army that they must prepare for battle when they are fifty miles away from the mouth of the gorge, and control the marching speed so that the troops and horses will not be exhausted and their physical strength will not be enough to fight when they are attacked.

More than [-] Wusun cavalry rushed westward.

-

Holding up his clairvoyance, Liang Xiao carefully observed the Wusun people who were crossing the river in the distance, and couldn't help shaking his head with a wry smile.

Lie Jiaomi was indeed cautious.Although he rushed over, he didn't give him many chances. The marching ranks were very rigorous, and there were almost no flaws to speak of.This point, he felt when he observed Lie Jiaomi's camp, and now he confirmed it with his own eyes again.

However, that doesn't mean he doesn't have a chance.Lie Jiaomi has been mobilized by him, and he has already seized the opportunity strategically.Next, whether Lie Jiaomi can be so cautious all the time depends on how much temptation Lie Jiaomi can resist, and whether he will give Doros the chance to beheaded.

Liang Xiao raised his hand and made a gesture to Ashina in the distance.

In Clairvoyance, Ashana waved his hands vigorously and responded.

Liang Xiao put away his clairvoyance, took off the black bow, moved the quiver to a suitable position, lightly kicked the horse's belly, and rushed out of the battle formation first.

Tu Niu'er and the others followed closely, while Alexander and the others accelerated their horses and gradually got in front of Liang Xiao, forming a charge formation.

The sound of war drums broke the tranquility of the valley. More than 1000 Dawan cavalry and 1000 Cypriot cavalry followed closely behind Liang Xiao and killed the Wusun people in the distance.The war horse ran faster and faster, and the sound of the horse's hooves became more and more urgent, gradually converging into a thunderbolt, rolling away.

At the same time, Azhena also led three thousand Yueshi cavalry, rushed out of the hiding place, followed Liang Xiao, and killed the Wusun people.

Hearing the sound of war drums and horns, the Wusun people who were crossing the river were taken aback. They immediately passed the news to the central army, adjusted their formation, and their horses sped up to meet Liang Xiao and others.The two sides quickly approached, the horses accelerated and entered the state of charging.

Liang Xiao raised his black bow and shot a Ming Dy.

Mingdi let out a shriek and flew into the sky, announcing the start of the battle.

The crossbowmen of the Han army took the lead, and dozens of crossbow arrows left the string and flew two to three hundred steps. Several Wusun knights who rushed to the front fell off their horses with arrows, and were immediately submerged by the galloping horses and disappeared in the rolling torrent. .

The two sides are approaching and heading in the same direction.Liang Xiao and others seized the favorable position on the right side, drew their bows and shot, throwing a rain of arrows at the Wusun people.The Wusun people are located on the left side, except for the archers who can shoot left and right, it is difficult to display real archery skills.They could only run with all their strength, hoping to rush through the arrow array, entangle Liang Xiao, buy time for Lie Jiaomi, and create a chance to kill Liang Xiao.

Liang Xiao and others shot down arrows like rain, one Wusun man fell to the ground one by one.Before the two sides came into contact, hundreds of Wusun people were killed by arrows.

The two sides contacted, and the knights headed by Alexander jumped on horses and held spears, and charged at the Wusun people.

The crossbowmen raised their pulley crossbows, looking for valuable targets, and sniped calmly.

Skilled archers such as Liang Xiao and Huohu raised their bows and shot at will, killing Wusun warriors one by one.

Under the cover of the warriors of the Han army, the knights of Dawan and Sai had no distractions. They opened their bows and arrows and shot as much as they wanted, and shot batch after batch of arrows into the formation of Wusun people.Unlike Liang Xiao and others who focused on the hit rate, they didn't aim at all, they just wanted to shoot as fast as possible and shoot out as many arrows as possible.

The Wusun people suffered heavy losses.

Although they have been controlling the speed and are not particularly tired, after all, they have just walked more than 100 miles, and their physical strength is inevitably affected.However, Liang Xiao and the others waited for work with ease and were full of energy. There was a big gap between the two sides in terms of physical strength—especially the physical strength of the war horses.Liang Xiao chose a favorable position and placed the Wusun people on the awkward left side, preventing the Wusun people from shooting, and gained the upper hand.In terms of local strength, Liang Xiao also had an advantage.

The Wusun people had only 3000 cavalry on the right flank. Facing the [-] cavalry led by Liang Xiao and Azhena, they were completely at a disadvantage and fell into a passive and beaten situation. There was no chance of improvement in a short time.

The people of Wusun were extremely depressed, they could only sound the clarion call for help again and again, asking Lie Jiaomi to send the main support as soon as possible.

Hearing the sound of the horn, Lie Jiaomi also became a little anxious.The timing Liang Xiao chose made him very uncomfortable.When he was crossing the river, the army was facing each other across the river. Even if he wanted to rescue him, he could not cross the river quickly, so he could only watch the right-wing cavalry fight alone.Although he couldn't see the specific situation, judging from the momentum and positions of both sides, the loss of the right-wing cavalry would not be small.If they cannot be rescued in time, they may even be wiped out.

Liang Xiao was so arrogant that he actually wanted to eat his right wing and break his right arm in front of him.

Lie Jiaomi tried his best to remind himself to be calm, and at the same time ordered the cavalry on the rear wing to speed up to cross the river, circle to Liang Xiao's right side, seize the favorable terrain, and further outflank Liang Xiao, so that Liang Xiao could not escape.Compared with the loss of cavalry on the right, Lie Jiaomi was more worried that Liang Xiao would leave with one blow.It's only about thirty miles away from the mouth of the canyon. If Liang Xiao wanted to leave and ran away without hesitation, it would be very difficult for him to stop Liang Xiao from escaping back to the canyon.

After spending so much time, the purpose was to lure Liang Xiao out of the canyon. If he escaped back, it would be a waste of time.

For this purpose, Lie Jiaomi's first reaction was not to support the cavalry on the right, but to intercept Liang Xiao.

Unfortunately, the situation is still developing in the direction he least wants to see.After Liang Xiao severely wounded the right wing of the Wusun people, he didn't slow down. Instead, he ran faster and faster, heading west without looking back.Although the right wing of the Wusun people suffered heavy losses, they could not hold them back with all their strength, and the rear wing that rushed out could not achieve the tactical goal of intercepting Liang Xiao.They followed Liang Xiao closely, but they still couldn't reduce the distance between them.

Seeing that he was about to leave the main force, the rear wing general had no choice but to blow the horn to ask Lie Jiaomi whether to continue chasing, or give up and let Liang Xiao leave.

Lie Jiaomi was so anxious that he ordered to continue the pursuit. At the same time, he ordered the Chinese troops who had already crossed the river to turn around. No matter what, they had to stop Liang Xiao and not let him leave like this.

The horns were whining, Wusun people galloped back and forth, people shouted and neighed, and there was a lot of noise.

Seeing that Lie Jiaomi wanted to stop him wholeheartedly, Liang Xiao was overjoyed.While shooting, he ordered to speed up and break through.He didn't want to be surrounded by Lie Jiaomi's superior force.When the drums sounded, the Dawan people and the Sai people took the lead to speed up and rushed out before the Wusun people encircled them. However, Liang Xiao and others slowed down their horses and fell behind, using precise archery to stop the Wusun people's pursuit .

Immediately afterwards, Azhena led the Yuezhi cavalry and rushed over.

Liang Xiao and the others cut off their backs, rode and shot.The Wusun people were terrified by their superb archery skills. From time to time, some people fell off their horses and suffered heavy losses, but they had nothing to do.

Nearly ten thousand riders from both sides rode horses and galloped on the grassland, chasing and fighting, and unknowingly left the main force of the Wusun people.

Lie Jiaomi was so anxious that he had just crossed the river when he chased after him with a battalion of two thousand personal guards.

No matter how big the risk is, he must catch up with Liang Xiao and never let him escape back to the canyon.
